Write a Fraction for the Point

Fraction:

Fraction is defined as an element of quotient field. Fraction can be represented as `x/y` where fraction variable 'x' denotes the value called as numerator and fraction variable 'y' denotes the value called as denominator and the denominator 'y' is not equal to zero. It is used to write the fraction format for the given point.

Thus the fraction is classified as follows,

  • Simple fraction
  • Proper fraction
  • Improper fraction
  • Complex fraction

write a fraction for the point : Types of fractions


Simple fraction:

Simple fraction is a fraction, which has both numerator and denominator as whole number.

Ex:

`1/5` , `2/7` , `8/9`

Proper fraction:

It is a fraction, which has a numerator less than its denominator, and the value of that fraction is less than one.

Ex:

`3/5` , `1/8` , `24/25`

Improper fraction:

Improper fraction is a fraction, where the top number of fraction that the numerator is greater than or equal to its own denominator (bottom number) and the value of that fraction is greater than or equal to one.

Ex:

`7/2` , `45/23` , `123/120`

Complex Fractions:

If a fraction of numerator and denominator contains a fraction, it is called complex fraction.

The complex fraction is also called as a rational expression because it has a numerator and denominator with fraction. Otherwise, the overall fraction includes at least one fraction.

Ex:

` (7/3) / (4/5)`


Example problems for write a fraction for the point:


Ex 1

Write the fraction for the following point: (0.5, 1.5, and 0.88)

Sol:

0.5

Step 1 :( multiply  and divide by 10 on both sides, we get )

`(0.5)*(10)/10`

= `5/10`

Step 2: simplifying we get

=`1/2`

like wise for the following numbers we get,

1.5 = `3/ 2 ` ( multiply and divide by 2 on both sides)

0.88 = `8/9 ` ( multiply and divide by 10 on both sides)

Ex: 2

Write the Equivalent fraction for the following points: (0.25, 0.75, 2.5, and 50)

Sol:

0.25 = `1/4 ` = `2/8` = `3/12 `

0.75 = ` 3/ 4` = `6/8` = `9/12`

2.5 = `5/2` = `10/4` = `15/6 `

50.0 = `100/2` = `200/4 `
